Check Out Lou Dobbs on CNN Cable right now hes really tearing into the Illegal Alien Amnesty of Bush!
If youre not tuned in, check it out right now, Lou Dobbs on CNN Cable is really hitting the pertinent points regarding illegal aliens as well as the Bush amnesty. If you missed it, hopefully it will re-air later tonight, on CNN cable. I believe this man truly is a fighter and advocate for the interests of the workers and labor in this country the USA he is asking very direct questions about the problems of illegal immigration from Mexico, and though he may be a Democrat he presents the news in a superb manner, in this case brings an exciting and significant forum of news events discussion and coverage (Faceoff on CNN, as well as other CNN programs featuring this host). He really got my blood going, he was right on and no fan of illegal immigration.
I dont want to hear the Mahatma Gandhi insult/quote from Hillary again, not even from the so-called conservative shows/hosts. There is only one issue to cover, and that is the Buffalo that Bush has pulled on all conservatives and Americans. You know, some folks say the Democratic Party is dead. Maybe so. But, maybe not, in that, I would wager, if some Democratic candidate, spokesperson, politician (with a D next to the name) went back to early Democratic Party roots, and focused on the interests of American workers, that is hit on the issues of exporting American jobs to India et all, off shore outsourcing, and yes, what the invasion of illegal aliens from South of the Border is doing to undercut living wage jobs in the USA for labor, I would predict this person would rise like a comet, a meteor, and could very well take the White House. Would the Democratic Party make such a swing away from the left progressive wing to become a party that advocates American Workers First? I think it is possible, not immediate, but possible, and probable to come. Its all a matter of which party gets on this wave first the Republicans or the Democrats. I predict, that will be the Party that will sweep America. Dont think so?
I think so. I think that these issues, Made in America, Jobs in USA, American Workers First, illegal aliens, Bush type amnesty, exporting American jobs, offshore outsourcing, are, and will become even more, THE issues of the next four to eight years, and more.
I am outraged by Buffalo Bush.
How dare that man say that I would not do the jobs, any job it takes, to put food on the table of my family. How dare that man say such a thing. That I am a lazy American, and the only Mexicans who come here illegally have the character to do a job, any job, to put food on the table for their family. He can go to Mexico and not come back. My forefathers lived in a wooden box pulled by a horse with a canvas for a roof called a horse drawn wagon, to go somewhere, to put food on the table. My forefathers worked in dirty mines, chucking broken quartz and rock into wagons, to put food on the table. I will do the job, I will get up on someones roof and put up shingles, I will paint a wall, I will pick up garbage, to put food on the table for my family. I am an American. And I am proud. And I have the character to do anything it takes. How DARE this President say I wont do the job it takes if that is what it takes to put food on the table for my family. How DARE he say that. I am an American. I will work. My character, and the character of my forefathers, brought the FREEDOM of this nation, not some illegal alien from Mexico. I will put MY character up against them any day, any place.
Against any one.
Including you, Mr. Bush.

Please don't call it the Bush Amnesty. It's not fair to do that. There's enough you can pick at without lying.

PRO-IMMIGRATION PROF. WISHES FOR 'MILLION MOGADISHUS'
According to National Review Online, "Last Wednesday, Columbia University assistant professor Nicholas DeGenova told the audience at a faculty-led antiwar teach-in that he wished 'for a million Mogadishus' to visit U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq." According to the Columbia University biography of DeGenova, his teaching focuses on "transnational urban conjunctural spaces that link the U.S. and Latin America as a standpoint of critique from which to interrogate U.S. nationalism, political economy, racialized citizenship, and immigration law." DeGenova has appeared at several open-borders conferences as a panelist and his writing has been highly critical of immigration enforcement. He is also scheduled to speak at a Brecht Forum event April 3. The discussion, titled "The New Internments" focuses on detention of illegal aliens under the NSEERS program. The Brecht Forum says, "In the hysteria that the Bush administration has continued to foment for over a year in its push for the continued militarization of the globe, a gutted constitution, and a ghoulish vision of endless war, immigrants in the U.S. have been disappeared and deported at alarming rates."

True, but massively expanded "Health Care" (including that for illegals) and introduction/passing of Election "Reform" that TOOK AWAY our right to speak out on issues close to elections... We all thought that was "unlikely" as well :(

Nice obscure, indirect, guilt-by-association, tie-in there. That has nothing to do with this issue. The Marxist AFL-CIO strongly supports you on this topic and is out today saying so.

You got that right. I am white fair haired w/blue eyes and I more than likely have either a black or hispanic womans heart. SOME people on this site would have me give it back and die I guess. And some accuse me of not being able to spell, but who ever heard of a Cajun that could spell HA!

I think there should be recognition that there are jobs that Americans don't want...Ever notice who is building the houses we live in? Hispanics, almost exclusively.
Those are good paying jobs that Americans now out of work should be doing. But because the Illegals will do the work for a lot less, home builders have no reason to hire Americans.
What do YOU want: A house for $1,000 less or more empolyed Americans?

And I say, God bless President Bush for taking a reasonable, humane, and American spirited response to a problem that both parties have ignored for too long. There is no sustainable support in this country for rounding up and deporting all illegal immigrants, especially those from our own hemisphere. This is the first president since Ronald Reagan to seriously confront the great issues and the great threats that face this nation. I trust his judgment on this policy and stand behind him 100 percent.

Well I just got back from being out and about doing errands and listening to the radio in the car.
Both Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt approve of President Bush's plan and correctly interpret its intention and implications.

(Where'd my tagline go?)
To: Brian_Baldwin
Might as well put my $1 dollar's worth in on this.
Bush is dead wrong on this issue, just as Reagan was when he proposed and got the first amnesty bill passed. He later lived to regret it.
Let's start with the fundamental position that we are a nation of laws, not men. When we take something such as citizenship in America and give it away to people whose first act in coming to America was to display their contempt for our laws, what does that say about them AND about us as a nation? What should we expect in the future from people to whom we GIVE citizenship when their first act was to disregard our laws and system of justice? And, what does it say about our President and his advisors that they would make a proposition such as this?
Citizenship in America is something to be prized; not something to be given away in every 4th box of Cracker Jack. Illegal immigrants are not deserving of the honor of American citizenship and would only accept it because they can live and work without fear of being caught and deported. We have immigration laws for a reason; Bush and Co. should read them sometime.
Let me ask a rhetorical question: if ignoring/violating the law is beneficial for one segment of our country, how spectacular will it be if we ALL ignore/violate the law?
Secondly, the stereotype of several illegal Mexican peasants living in fear in the same house/apt. and working at crappy jobs to earn enough money to support their families in Mexico is outdated. Many of the illegals today live in upscale neighborhoods, have college degrees and work at white collar jobs and drive SUVs. Where, in that description, is a job that "Americans won't take"?
The fact is that the "immigration policy" that Bush proposed today is one that Vicente Fox has been pushing. IOW, Fox is deciding what America's immigration policy towards Mexicans should be. That doesn't make Bush sound like much of a leader.
And, for those of you holding your breath for the Congress to kill this bill, let me remind you that this is the same Congress that passed McCain-Feingold that erodes your 1st Amendment rights. This is the same Congress that KNEW McCain-Feingold contained unConstitutional provisions and passed it anyway; to a President who knew it contained unConstitutional provisions and initially said he would veto the bill, then signed it into law. These are the same people you are expecting to kill this new immigration policy!!??
Folks - take a cold shower, drink a large pot of coffee, do whatever it takes to WAKE UP!!! WE do not benefit from this new immigration reform policy if it passes. According to a recent article, in the 10 years since Reagan passed the first illegal alien amnesty for 3 million illegals, it has cost us $79 BILLION in social service and safety net program costs. Multiply that by 4 to get a baseline estimate of the cost for an additional 12 million illegals - people whom, if we believe the stereotype, will remain below the income tax threshhold and will not, as a result, pay ANY taxes to help pay for their drain on our social services and safety net programs. Doesn't sound like a win-win deal to me.
For those who think Bush has a great idea with his new immigration reform program, turn to your left and say "Hola!" to the new Mexican family you just adopted but can't deduct on your taxes.

Ever notice who is building the houses we live in? Hispanics, almost exclusivelyDon't know where you live, but we just put a huge addition on our home.
Our concrete guys were black; the carpenters were white; the plasterers and drywall guys were white; the plumbers were white; the electricians were white; the roofers were the only hispanics in the bunch (and there's was definitely the most grueling job since they work on the roof in the Florida sun).
I'm sure demographics plays a part in this, but to say hispanics are the ones building all the houses, sorry, not in our neighborhood.

May God have mercy upon us in spite of ourselvesYou don't want God to have mercy on us.
You want him to smite those of us who think Bush is doing the right thing and, for heaven's sake, clean those brownies out of our white land while He's beating on "them" who are keeping "you" down.
Call Jesse Jackson. He's a pro at representing victims.

When was the last time you or your white or asian brothers picked lettece or tomatoes for a living. Your remarks are beyond stupid. I walked beans (pulling weeds from soy bean fields) in grade school & detasseled & hand pollinated corn in high school. I also mowed lawns after coming home from those jobs. Everybody did in our town.
To: citizen
The illegals are not exactly underpaid either. I've never heard of anyone paying less than minimum wage, and usually way more, for construction labor.
What they are is motivated.
